After possessing Qi and becoming a Great Dou Master, Chen Yang's most obvious feeling was the improvement in his stamina.
Before, when riding with his senior, it would last at most ten or twenty minutes, but with Ya Fei, it lasted for over an hour, and they even had a morning exercise the next day!
"Thank you, Great Master Chen Yang!"
Ya Fei looked at Chen Yang, feeling the Dou Zhi Qi vortex in her Dantian, and thanked Chen Yang once again.
If it weren't for Chen Yang, she would probably have needed another year or two to become a Dou Practitioner, and that was only if her resources kept up. (In the original plot, Ya Fei likely relied on Xiao Yan's Foundation Establishment Elixir to break through to become a Dou Practitioner.)
"What's wrong? Last night you were calling me Little Brother Chen Yang, Sister Ya Fei, could it be that you don't like that form of address?" Chen Yang reached out to stroke Ya Fei's hair and said softly.
Ya Fei bit her red lips with her pearly white teeth, Chen Yang's caress making her somewhat unable to bear it: "I... I like it... ah!"
Another hour later, Chen Yang looked at the sleeping Ya Fei, then got up and left the small courtyard.
Ya Fei was just a novice who had newly entered the Dou Practitioner Rank, not even a One-Star Dou Practitioner, so being able to ride for so long was already quite impressive!
In contrast, he was full of energy.
"Teacher!" Just after leaving and wandering around the Auction House for a bit, Chen Yang encountered Gu Ni coming up to pay his respects.
"Hmm!" Chen Yang nodded at him. A few days ago, Gu Ni had taken the time to go to the neighboring Telan City to qualify as a Third-Grade Alchemist, and at this moment, he was wearing the robes of a Third-Grade Alchemist.
"Teacher, during the days Ya Fei was in seclusion, nothing major happened at the Auction House!"
"Only this morning, a mercenary brought a Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique, 'Wind Scroll Technique', asking our Mittel Auction House to auction it on his behalf!" Gu Ni said softly!
Chen Yang nodded upon hearing this.
In his memory, the auction of the 'Wind Scroll Technique' occurred when Xiao Yan had broken through to the Fifth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi and came to auction the Foundation Establishment Elixir, which was about two months after his engagement was annulled.
But he hadn't expected this 'Wind Scroll Technique' to arrive at the Mittel Auction House so early.
However, Chen Yang thought about it and realized it made sense. A Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique appearing in a small city like Wutan City could only be acquired by the three great families.
And not all three great families had that much liquid capital.
It was reasonable for Mittel to release the news a month in advance to let them prepare the money.
"There is no need to auction it on his behalf. We will acquire this 'Wind Scroll Technique' directly. You personally deliver it to Xiao Zhan, and ask for 400,000 gold coins!"
In the original plot, the 'Wind Scroll Technique' sold for 550,000 gold coins and eventually fell into the hands of the Jia Lie Family, and the one who practiced the 'Wind Scroll Technique' was that playboy Jia Lie Ao, who was absolute trash.
A hundred thousand gold coins or so were not important to Chen Yang at all. Besides, the Qi Gathering Powder he had recently refined for Mittel had already squeezed the three great families dry of their gold coins.
With the current financial strength of the three great families, they might not even be able to scrape together 500,000 gold coins in two months, let alone one month.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan's collection of medicinal herbs was almost ready. If he waited until Xiao Zhan advanced to a Nine-Star Great Dou Shi, and Chen Yang then obtained an Earth Rank Low-Rank Cultivation Technique, that rise and fall would definitely have an impact on his combat strength after becoming a Dou Ling.
Chen Yang would still make this deal.
"Disciple understands!"
"However... how many gold coins would be appropriate to give the mercenary?" Gu Ni asked again.
"What is the age and strength of that mercenary?" "What about his character?" Chen Yang turned his head and asked.
